Ciro Ferrigno Obituary

Ciro Ferrigno, 47, passed away on Sunday, October 31, 2010. He was born April 3, 1963 in San Pedro, California. A lifetime resident of San Pedro, Ciro was a dedicated family man and a local commercial fisherman for the past three decades aboard the Ferrigno Boy. Those who worked with Ciro knew him as a great leader in the fishing industry. After the passing of his father, Joe Ferrigno, in 1997, Ciro and his brother Joey dedicated themselves to continuing the legacy of the Ferrigno Boy. He was also a member of the Marine Life Protective Act (MLPA) where he strived to provide more job opportunity and security for the everyday man trying to earn a living for his family. Ciro is survived by the "love of his life", Tina; four beautiful children, Nicholas 24, Kristina 21, Michelle 18, Ciro Jr. 16; his mother, Nicolina Ferrigno; brothers, Joey (Christine), Sal (Georgia), Leonard (Debbie); his sister, Maria (Frank); and eighteen nieces and nephews who he simply adored. Ciro's primary focus in life was being a great husband and father. He took pride in his role as a father. The moments in life with his wife and children are what mattered most to him. Ciro absolutely loved the mountains; he was an avid skier and enjoyed spending time on the slopes with his family and friends. Ciro was a loving, caring and generous man who touched the lives of many, and he will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known him. Rosary and visitation is Sunday, November 7, 7:30 p.m. at Holy Trinity Church, San Pedro. Funeral services will be held at Holy Trinity Church on Monday, November 8 at 10:00 a.m. A secondary viewing will be held from 8:45 to 10:00 a.m. prior to funeral services also at Holy Trinity Church. Please sign the guestbook at www.dailybreeze.com/obits.

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

Kevin Ellison

Dear Ferrigno Family,

My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Ciro has hired me over the years to dive on the Ferrigno Boy. It was such a shock to hear of his passing. Just want you to know that everyone thought so highly of him from the people on the waterfront to the mlpa task force and all the fisherman he represented. Ciro was always friendly and a person of his word. He was one of the good guys!
May God bring comfort to you all during this difficult time.
